'Your PDF:s will open slower because we decided that the CDN providers are more important than you'.

If size was important to users then it wouldn't be so common that systems providers crap out huge PDF files consisting mainly of layout junk 'sophistication' with rounded borders and whatnot.

The PDF/A stuff I've built stays under 1 MB for hundreds of pages of information, because it's text placed in a typographically sensible manner.

Ridiculous statement. CDN providers can already use filesystem compression and standard HTTP Accept-Encoding compression for transfers (which includes brotli by the way). This ISO provides virtually no benefit to them
